Probably it has not been considered that the general assembly of a chapter is still a stakeholder.
In this case, for a better access to external funds, several chapters may evaluate if it makes sense to move their legal status from a no profit association to a foundation where the old no profit association may continue to be a simple stakeholder. In this case there will be nonsense to continue to have a general assembly and probably neither a bylaws. regards On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Cristian Consonni <kikkocrist...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2014-11-25 13:49 GMT+01:00 Ilario Valdelli <valde...@gmail.com>: > > Basically if WMF is asking to find external funds to reduce the risk, the > > consequence is that WMF is also declaring to would be a stakeholder with > > less importance and less impact in the decision of the strategy of the > > chapter. > > That's a very good point. but we can rely that entities stay true on > their bylaws that, having been examined as part of the affiliation > process should all point towards the movement mission (in their own > contextualized wa).
